For example, some stars put out large amounts of energy in the infrared part of the spectrum, so that this can produce a different relative magnitude rating than using light energy from the middle of the spectrum.

Having the infrared data from Spitzer allows us to measure the star formation rates very accurately because we are no longer blinded by dust.
Because infrared has so little security when someone beams you their business card, there's no way to know what you're getting, ... Bluetooth another short-range wireless data exchange protocol has access permission security, but once you permit access, it's a hacker's delight.
The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum.
There are three types of energy audits. Some energy providers electric and natural gas companies will provide them, and there are private companies that perform them using draft detectors, infrared cameras and other high-tech devices.
If you take a look at what you can do energy efficiency wise in a hangar or repair facility, there's day lighting, regular lighting, temperature controls, infrared heating instead of older steam and hot-water heating, and compressed air.
The infrared option also lets customers use their phone as a modem to transfer business information and other data through their PC.
We've discovered a new class of object, and we need to use Spitzer to measure the infrared spectra of a lot more of these objects to learn how unique they really are.
You will be able to see with an infrared ability built into this, what the officers are seeing at the time they fire, what led up to the firing, and through the firing.
It looks like this could be a very cost-effective technology. It could be useful in automotive applications where components need to be cheap - for example infrared lasers that monitor the gases and petrol in the engine.
We're developing an infrared signal for remote control. Eventually, this could sit in your living room and house your whole music collection.
We believe that WiFi is not just another Bluetooth or infrared port, ... It is foundational to what people will be doing with smartphones in the future. While Voice over IP is sometimes seen as a threat to operators' revenue streams it is also a big opportunity. It allows them to address new and emerging markets, in different sectors of the industry. Beyond VoIP, we see streaming media and interactive gaming as the other areas to benefit from WiFi.
The future infrared space telescope will cover that area in a much more efficient manner.
A dark-colored home absorbs as much as 90 percent of the solar radiation that strikes it, and even white walls can absorb solar radiation. By reflecting this infrared radiation rather than absorbing it, the Cool Wall coatings dramatically reduce the load on a home's air-conditioning system. And because they are reflective, they are less prone to fading even dark colors stay darker longer than conventional paint technologies.
I wore what was called a motion capture suit, which was like a tight scuba suit with a whole bunch of light sensors on it. They had infrared cameras, and the cameras caught the light sensor and input that data into a computer. And that data was my movement and how the light sensors moved and how they captured the data onto the computer. It was really quite fascinating. I had never done any of that before.
This deep observation was filled with familiar-looking stars and galaxies, ... We removed everything we knew---all the stars and galaxies both near and far. We were left with a picture of part of the sky with no stars or galaxies, but it still had this infrared glow with giant blobs that we think could be the glow from the very first stars.
